Production Technology: In the user research phase, we use qualitative and quantitative tools such as user interviews, competitive product analysis, and data analysis to mine and analyze user needs.

In the product launch stage, we continuously analyze and verify through AB test, carry out product iteration through data feedback, and bring users the ultimate content consumption experience through accurate recommendation algorithms.
Design Challenge: In the process of product development, implementation or research, we mainly face two challenges: due to the large and growing user group, we need to respond to changing and diverse user needs and constantly iterate product functions. At product design level, designers need to constantly explore how to provide users with a better and more differentiated consumption experience in the PC scenario.
